It’s a cash grab, just like all alternate jerseys, “Winter Classic throwbacks”, etc. Just another way to pry more money out of our pockets.
Well yeah, that's what businesses do.
I think it's a cool idea.

just wait until Dundon rolls out Disco Demolition night.
Having lived thru disco, that's a great idea.
It's trashy, and shortsighted. Not all publicity is good publicity. Dundon's mistakes are piling up.
No NHL team wears the former city's uniform. There are several damned good reasons for that. Classless act. Look at the shitstorm this announcement has stirred up today. Just keep ripping off the scabs....Hartford and Caolina fans both just want to let the past be the past. I'm sick of hearing about it. But this is a huge mistake. I'm surprised the league agreed to this stupid idea.
as the guy in Stripes said, lighten up Francis! I doubt he's really going to be a Flames fan.
Okay, I'll walk back my 'great' for the Franchise to 'okay'.
It's not like they plan on moving or anything. It seems like in the past the Stars did this, or there was talk if I recall, with the old North Stars memorabilia before?
Pro teams also do all kinds of wacky marketing stuff, like Star Wars night, all over the country and in practically every Sports league. I think the difference with this move is no team, to best of my memory, has actually worn the old city's uniform for a regular season game. That is the line Dundon has crossed here and I am not sure how I feel about it. It is great to embrace the history, even celebrate it, and I like selling the old jerseys but this feels odd to me.
I will be interested to see if this becomes more widespread around the league or is just something he and the Canes get ridiculed for. It could go either way.
The Wild wore North Stars jerseys and that's not even the same franchise.
I don't think this is likely to happen, but if they could work things out (and settle some sore feelings) that would be an incredibly classy move. And it would allow fans to express their appreciation for Chuck.Bring Chuck back for the Whaler night on December 23rd, do something nice for the man and give him a banner up in the rafters or name the Canes press box in his honor. Drop Petey Pablo that night and play Brass Bonanza early and often! Life's too short to be mad and angry at things like this...
